A couple who found a jar of old gold coins under their kitchen floor are £754,000 ($1.3 million) richer after selling the surprise treasure trove at auction.
The home owners in England were laying new flooring, ripping up the existing floorboards and jackhammering through the concrete beneath, when they struck a bounty: 260 ancient coins in a small urn.
The coins unearthed in the dirt below the East Yorkshire property were dated from 1610 to 1727 and belonged to a mercantile family who traded through the Baltic region, according to the BBC.
